I seem to have made a card for every occasion lately - Good luck, Sympathy, Birthday, Christmas and Grandparents Day. The things I do to keep my bloggees from getting bored! :o)

Here is a different card again. It's sentiment (although you can't see it very clearly) reads 'All the best'. It has been made for a friend going into hospital for a few days. She's not 'ill' as such therefore a get well soon wouldn't be appropriate.

She is a young at heart person, likes fowers but nothing overly flowery, and is girly but not a pink girly girl. Therefore, I thought this image and choice of colours were perfect for her.

Sympathy cards, I've found, are not my forte - I mean, where do you start?

Having asked the lovely ladies of MSE for inspiration for images. Trisha (AKA Crafty Granny) sent me images of Calla Lillies (thanks so much), which I had intended to use, until Louisa (AKA DawnTeabag) pointed to a card she had made on her blog here. This gave me just the inspiration I needed (thankyou too xxx).

I have simply used two cuttlebug embossing folders, and placed ribbon to hide the mark the edge of the folders left. This is complemented by the scalloped oval nestie onto which the sentiment is mounted. It's a very simple and understated card - but hopefully it is suitable.
